Salk Vaccine
Now Available
To Physicians
Salk vaccine is now available to
all private physicians of Matagor-
da County for immunization
against poliomyelitis.
Children one to 15 years old are
eligible to receive the vaccine, it
was announced this week by Dr.
Russell S. Butaud, director of the
Matagorda County Health Unit.
"All parents should have their
children immunized during the
winter months so children will be
immune to poliomyelitis before
next spring's outbreak begins,"
the doctor said.
The vaccine is safe and proven
effective in preventing poliomyeli-
tis.
Figures recently released show
that among the 1,108 children in
the first and second grades of the
Matagorda County schools who re-
ceived the vaccine this spring and
fall, no cases of the disease have
developed.
Nor has there been any reaction
from Salk vaccine, Dr. Butaud
said.

Johnnie McDaniel
Picked In Who's Who
At Sul Ross State
A recent graduate of Palacios
High School has been elected to be
included in the 1955-56 Who's Who
among students in American Uni-
versities and' Colleges.
Johnnie Rose McDaniel, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. L. K. Jecker of
Palacios, is one of thirteen students
selected this year from Sul Ross
State College, Alpine. She is a
senior Business Administration ma-
jor. In addition, she is a member of
Kappa Delta Pi, Alpha Chi, Sig-
ma Tau Delta, and the Texas In
tercollegiate Press Club.
Each year nominations to Who's
Who among students in American
Universities and Colleges are sub
mitted to special faculty commit-
tees at various institutions of high-
er learning throughout the United
States. The number of students
selected from each college depends
upon the total enrollment of that
particular school. Selections art-
based primarily or three criteria,
these are: personality, overall cam-
pus activities, ancf a high scholas-
tic average.
Seed Of New
Early Onion Is
Now Available
Matagorda County farmers and
truck growers participating in the
onion project for this area may be
interested to learn that the seed
of Early Crystal, a new, early,
white onion, are available foi
planting from commercial seed
sources.
Early Crystal 281 was developed
for planting in the South through
the cooperative onion breeding pro-
gram of the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station and the U.S
Department of Agriculture.
The new variety matures 10 to
14 days earliei than Eclipse, the
most commonly-grown wax varietj
in South Texas. It is resistant to
pink root and splits and bolts less
than other varieties of similai
type.
In yield tests at nine South Tex-
as locations during the past four
years, Early Crystal 281 made an
average yield of 492 50 pound bags
per acre. Researchers recommend
the planting of Early Crystal 281
on a limited acreage to take ad-
vantage of its early maturity and
disease resistance, with Eclipse or
a similar variety as the main crop.
The pedigree of Early Crystal
281 involves the old standard va-
rities, Crystal Wax and Exel.
Lice Ridden Poultry
Produce Less Eggs
Lousy poultry grow at a slower
rate, arc unthrifty and produce
fewer eggs. Lice uncontrolled can
mean the difference between profit.
The louse spends its entire life on
the host bird and spreads through
a flock most rapidly during cooler
weather. Fortunately, the several
species commonly found in Texas
can be controlled by the same
treatment. The most common con-
trol method is fumigation using a
roost paint. An •effective paint is
one percent lindane in an oil solu-
tion. It should be applied at the
rate of about one pint to each 200
fret of roost and just before the
birds go to roost. A second applica-
tion should be made within a 10-
day to 2-weeks period.
Sanitation pays off in controll-
ing lice just as it does in keeping
disease in check but regular in-
spection of individual birds within
the flock will enable the poultry-
man to start control measures with
the first appearance of the para-
sites. Fast action will prevent
heavy infestations and the costly
reduction in flock performance.
Special Emphasis
On Safe Driving
Asked By Patrol
Captain Glen Rose, commanding
officer of District eleven of the
Texas Highway Patrol, said last
night at Houston that the obser-
vance of S-D Day (Safe Driving
Day) on December 1 would see no
change in traffic law enforcement
policy in so far as the Texas High-
Way Patrol is concerned.
He pointed out, however, that the
special emphasis program aimed at
irlarking a 24-hour period without
traffic accidents begin today (Sun-
day, November 20) and will cul-
minate on S-D Day of December 1.
During that period, Captain Rose
said that he would utilize every
available man in his command on
as broad an assignment basis as
possible in a concerted effort to
assure the success of S-D Day.
"In most instances, this will
mean that the patrolmen in this
district will be working even long-
er hours than usual," the Patrol
Captain said", "and as a part of
their every personal contact they
will ask the cooperation of motor-
ists in observing the traffic laws
on December 1 and every day."
Captain Rose had issued a state-
ment earlier indicating his belief
that S-D Day can set a pattern
for year-'round safety on the
street and highways if every mo-
torist will give strict observance
and obedience to the traffic laws
on that date. He said that the co-
operative effort of every motorist
and pedestrian can show that the
loss of lives and property from
traffic accidents is not "an inevit-
able evil which must be tolerated."
